using command prompt

[yahn]

I need to use the command prompt to use an exe, but I don't know how to do this. I need to open pexports.exe in the command prompt and execute a command with it. This is exactly what I need to do:

Hi.

Try with Dev-Cpp

download pexports-043 (search in google) I don't know the site.

... and execute ...

1. pexports libmysql.dll > libmysql.def
2. dlltool comes with dev-cpp
dlltool -k --input-def libmysql.def --dll-name libmysql.dll --output-lib libmysql.a
3. create a project (with a source code), in project menu->project options->parameters->linker-> add -lmysql
4. compile and link your program
5. a error ocorred

a unrecognized ... mysql_init@4

or something like this.
6. edit limysql.def and add @number in front of the function. Example:
a unrecognized ... mysql_init@4
in libmysql.def
(you find like this)
...
...
mysql_init
...
...
(so)
...
...
mysql_init@4
...
...

save the file. execute dlltool again, and try compile/link,


Bye

I was told by someone that 1 and 2 need to be done with the command prompt and need to be executed from there. So if anyone can tell me what I need to do I'd really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

You need to change to the directory of the binaries you want to execute. Use CD to change directory. Then enter the commands as directed above.
